BE-ING EFFORTLESSLY IN WATER
Rebirth - Relaxation - Release - Rejuvenation
WATER THERAPY - WATER MASSAGE - WATER JOURNEY - WATER DANCE
Imagine, the warmth and sense of weightlessness induced by water,... your eyes closed, so there is just the play of light across your eyelids, your ears are under the water so the sound of the world is muffled. The world starts to disappear, leaving just yourself and your experience of body and being in the water, nothing to do, nowhere to go, just receiving and letting go, into the graceful movement, rocking cradling and gentle rhythm. It is no wonder people speak of states of bliss and levels of relaxation never before imagined.
Aguahara is a gentle form of aquatic bodywork used for deep relaxation and passive aquatic therapy. It is characterized by one-on-one sessions in which a practitioner gently cradles, moves, stretches, and massages a receiver in water. It combines elements of massage, joint mobilisation, shiatsu, muscle stretching, and dance. The receiver is continuously supported while being floated, cradled, rocked and stretched. The deeply relaxing effects of warm water and nurturing support, combine with movements, stretches, massage and point work, to create a bodywork with a range of therapeutic benefits and potential healing on many levels.
Moments of stillness alternate with rhythmical flowing movements, which free the body in ways impossible on land. The warm water relaxes the muscles and supports the spine. With this support and without the weight of the body, the spine, joints and muscles can be manipulated and freed in a way unique to water work. The effects include a very gentle, yet deep stretching and a release of muscular and joint restrictions, along with a state of deep relaxation, which encourages the release of stress and tensions.
It has countless applications in physiotherapy, aiding recovery from injury, relieving muscular and joint pain and encouraging movement and flexibility. Come with a specific physical focus: pain syndromes, post injury or post surgery, or specific movement restrictions.
Or a journey past the senses that allow you to experience relaxation, blissful letting go, time-out, and a meditative stillness, past lives, re-birthing, and water induced activations.
You may experience emotions, new personal insights and/or resurfacing of old memories. Many receivers will remark on the deep sense of beauty, or lightness, ease and grace experienced during their session. There is a sense of nurturing, safety, relaxation, maybe at a level never felt before or remembered from 'long ago'.
